Thread: Ford 2.4 Tdci / Puma Rotor Filter

Hi,

I guess it was their motor to start with, so the various parts are accordingly sourced from Ford?

Get similar things with my Volvo from time to time.

Cheers

I didnt know the Transit spec Duratorq's had a Td5 style rotor filter.

What makes me ask is I ordered some Genuine Td5 rotor filters from UK, arrived in sealed genuine LR packaging, but when opened have the Ford logo on them.

investigation reveals Ford part number 1372808

Genuine Ford Transit Bypass Oil Filter 2.4 140ps 2006- | eBay

Whats the deal here, the Td5 is the cleanest diesel engine I've ever opened thanks mostly due to the Centrifuge, was LR afraid the rotor filter would make the Tdci last too long ?? or somehow deem it unnecessary, I wonder if you can retrofit the Transit housing onto the LR engine ??

or am I jumping to conclusions ??


.

So you are saying the transit engine has a MANN+HUMMEL bypass centrifuge and the LR variant doesn't???

For those who want to keep their pumas a long time this would be the number 1 item to fit.

Can it be done?

You can fit any filter to any engine if you mount it remotely. Bush65 bought an aftermarket version of the M+H centrifuge to fit to his 4BD1T, however IRC it cost ~$2k. It would be cheaper to see if the Td5 or Transit versions can be fitted.

Is this what's missing from that hole in the top of the motor? I thought it was for cooking a baked potato. Are we talking about an engine oil filter, or a fuel filter?

Talking the same centrifugal oil filter system fitted to the TD5.

So am I right in thinking by pass filter is the same as Centrifuge. Just mounted differently perhaps.

Is there a preferred brand? Or just that there is a second filter working that is more important.
I read about this when I first bought my vehicle, but decided to leave it alone because it had warranty. Now it's just about out it may be time.
